Topic: 554 - What is this on the side? (Read 748 times)

Pics below of I don't know what... it is on the side of a 554. The seller has called it a dial, but... confused. Looks to me like a pencil holder!

Can anyone tell me more about it? The seller said they have never seen one before and does not know any info about it.

My queries are:

What is it?Why attach this?Is it a good thing to have (eg rare) on the side of a 554?Is it stuck on or does it go into the phone and connect up?Can it / should it be removed?If yes to the question above - how, without leaving a mark or damaging the phone?
